98% of The Road consists of the two main characters, a father and son who never get names, avoiding gangs of cannibals and scrounging for food. Great book, but I realize that makes for kind of a boring downer of a movie trailer. Solution? Just slap some triumphant background music over it (starts at the 1:25 mark). Man, that worked perfectly. All Viggo did was eat some food and watch a town burn, but I felt all proud, like I was watching Sandra Bullock teach a black kid to play football or something.

Maurice ‘Maury’ Levy: You are feeding off the violence and the despair of the drug trade. You are stealing from those who themselves are stealing the lifeblood from our city. You are a parasite who leeches off the culture of drugs…
Omar Little: Just like you, man.
Maurice ‘Maury’ Levy: Excuse me? What?
Omar Little: I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It’s all in the game though, right?

Wow, that music represents the book perfectly! SPOILER: Viggo ends up saving the world at the end of the book, and his son and him eat lollipops and play with kittens on the beach.
Before his untimely demise, Michael Jackson read for Robert Duvall’s character stating, “If there’s anyone on this earth more qualified than me to recognize a young boy as an angel I’ll eat a handful of pain killers.”
Gee, this apocalypse looked shitty until that music started and celebrities started showing up and spewing uplifting one-liners.
